About the course
The course provides an introduction to future studies to study the future of society, the physical world, mechanisms of change, or forces driving change. Here, the methodology is presented as an interdisciplinary system-based way to study and analyse patterns of change in the past, identify driving trends and extrapolate possible alternative scenarios. The emphasis is on the future in the medium (5-20 years) and long-term perspective (>20 years).
